notes on interesting digital ephemera

happy holidays

OK - here is the link to the 22nd year of the card I first posted in 1994 ...

The drawing came together in about a minute. The music was done in midi editing with a keyboard looking at a score and took much longer. I put it on a server running on red net (a link outside our corporate firewall) under my desk and sent the link to readers of The Crandall Surf Report - an early pre-blog I wrote in the Mosaic era.

I didn't think much of it until the second year when people started bothering me to re-post it. Dozens of people. One thing led after another and it has finally made to to legal age.

The current server, and I think this is the fifth, no longer supports midi and I was forced to convert it to mp3. No autoplay, so click on the player for the music. So much for authenticity.

Also Blanche Davis, my (step) mother-in-law, passed at 101 and 9 months. A long and remarkable life. She kept her faculties nearly until the end. There aren't many who were born before women got the vote in the US.
